“Driving a bus in San Francisco is truly amazing. This takes some great skill. I once saw a Muni bus driver at a bus rodeo broad slide his bus at 70 mph so it would line up perfectly with the curb. Meanwhile the suburban drivers were just mowing people cut-outs over. It was jaw dropping!”

“Nothing beats having your own dedicated lanes because having bus, rail and cars share rights of way on the road is like having a roommate in college you don’t like but need. You want the freedom and benefits of your own place but its just so damn expensive! Having the roommate makes it cheaper.”

I have been seriously neglecting this blog. For those who have enjoyed the past discussions, I apologize. My time has been consumed by an increasing workload as I continue to pursue my Masters in Urban Planning at UCLA. But that doesn’t mean we can’t have a little fun. And thats what this is.

One of my professors and my graduate advisor, Professor Brian Taylor, is brilliant and a leader in the field of transportation. But not only that, he is a fun and energetic professor who loves to teach. And with that comes some pretty funny quotes. So with out further delay… I give you the first in a series I call “Quotes by Taylor”:

Taylor: “…so the HTF – you guys know what that is, right?”

Class: “Highway Trust Fund.”

Taylor: “Excellent! You’re all becoming planners. Soon no one will know what you’re talking about.”
